We get this question from many clients and parents who are desperate to hold ACS accountable. The answer is YES, but there are many obstacles. First, since ACS is a city agency, notice must be served withing 90 days. Hoever, if you are suing in federal court some of these time limitations do not apply. We are often asked what type of lawyer would file this lawsuit. These types of cases are considered civil actions and are mainly brought by personal injury lawyers and lawyers that have experience in suing New York City and its agencies. Usually, these cases are done on contingency fees. That means the client does not pay the attorney, but will share in the winnings if any. So, your case must be one that a civil attorney sees has a good chance of winning. If you decide to contact one, before you meet them, try and prepare a detailed package about your case for him to review. This will make things easier for the attorney and you will receive a faster answer on how successful he thinks your case may be. Different attorneys have different opinions about cases. If one attorney says no, you may try another one.
If you cannot find an attorney to take your case, you can file the lawsuit yourself. This is called going pro-se.This is a very difficult thing to do and requires a large investment in time. fightacs.com

What if ACS maliciously prosecuted someone. By back dating a report. Adding false statements to a report. Ignoring detailed letter from accuser stating she made up the whole story. Then the accused party gets accuser on audio admitting that it was her who infact abused the accused. And acs did nothing. So as to protect themselves for back dating the report. Also they came to court and purjured themselves. And the accused can prove all of this. Is this a good case.
